Accreditations:

Braeburn Mombasa International School is committed to continuous improvement and ensuring the education that is offered to your children is one of the best in the world. To this end, global accrediting agencies have been invited into the school to examine all aspects of how our school functions. Only those schools that meet the highest standards in all areas are awarded accredited status. The fact that we have been accredited by both CIS and IAPS is your guarantee that your child will receive a world class education while in our care.

BMIS is the only CIS accredited school in Mombasa. Both the Primary and Secondary schools are CIS fully accredited institutions of learning. In May 2016 the school underwent its Five Year visit, to reassess the accreditation. The school achieved that status as a mark of its quality and rigour in providing high standards in a learning place. This visit for re-accreditation signifies that BMIS has completed a comprehensive self-study and the international review process by experienced International School Head teacher visitors completed the process. They focused on precise Standards and Indicators that promote the development of student Knowledge, Skills, Attributes and Actions aligned with the CIS definition of Global Citizenship.
